Enrique Bunbury: Comes to San Diego with his new CD “Las Consecuencias”
(KPRENSA) – The professional path of Enrique Bunbury has no comparison in the world of the rock en español. Aside from his most recognized phase in the band Héroes del Silencio, since beginning his career as a soloist the musician has been characterized by his pursuit of musical eclecticism.
“One tries to evolve and be defined as an artist with a body of work that, eventually, shows a clear personality that is unified through all of your efforts,” Bunbury assures.

Bunbury will be in concert in San Diego on Friday, June 4th at The 4th and B (345 B Street, San Diego).
The singer and songwriter has called the album “a camara disk, in black and white.” “A few people are going to like it a lot, and many others may like it a little.” says Bunbury. “It’s an intimate, slow, difficult album. It’s the darkest, deepest, and most down tempo album I’ve recorded in my life.”
The first single, titled “Frente a frente,” is a remake of a 1981 spanish hit song by the singer Jeannette. For the song, Bunbury collaborated with Miren Iza, the singer of the spanish band Tulsa, who added a special emotion and character to the song with her unique voice. Jeannette makes a brief appearance on the video for the song. ‘Ella me dijo que no’, ‘El boxeador’, ‘21 de octubre’, ‘Lo que más te gustó de mí’ o ‘Nunca se convence del todo a nadie de nada’ as some of the other songs on the new album.
